Springheads merges multiple genres of historical fiction, romance, mystery, adventure and fantasy in the captivating story of Sarah Baker Bryant’s journey into self-discovery. Diverse land roots and the raw power of water are ever-present in settings ranging from Mississippi to Arizona, even to South America, producing a sense of place that comes to life in and around a special piece of river property in the westernmost mountains of North Carolina. The timeline covers late 1800’ up through the early 21st century. Bryant, the strong female lead, along with Colin Michael Stewart, characters from the always intriguing Jake Baker Dark Spot family, and personalities pulled from the history of the Arizona Territory, find themselves in an inexplicable yet hard-not-to-believe mystery spun by a master of story who weaves truth and tweaks it with what might be. Plan to take this book to bed with you, but don’t expect to sleep.
